Looks great, comfortable, sturdy construction, can be more more than one way

Bodystockings are one of my favorite items at Eden Fantasys. They have the utility and flattering properties of fishnet hose, and paired with a nice bra-panty combo, can make an entire crazy outfit. And this particular one ranks up at the top in my personal experience. And because I've had significant experience with bodystockings, I guessed correctly that there were more ways to wear it than just one.

The style of wear shown on the website are definitely work-able and hot. I figured out how to get into it immediately, despite its twist, because the back is very simple. It basically looks like a fishnet sports bra from behind. Once you locate that, you can ascertain the rest of the situation and get your legs and arms in the appropriate holes. This look is best flattered by large breasts that will keep the two front panels far enough apart that the twist is clearly visible in the mid-section. If you have smaller breasts, the look will be fine, but less flattering because the twist segment will be sort of bunched up. Since the whole thing is super flexible, its natural state is small. Having a little bit of curve will help stretch it out in cool ways.

In an effort to flatter my own small-breasted but flat-stomached frame a little more, I tried the whole thing on backwards. This look is represented in the picture I uploaded below. It took a fair amount of cognition and a few attempts, but I made it work. Again, using the back as a point of reference, I climbed into the leggings first. If you try the top part first and then go to put on the leggings, you'll find it a nearly impossible task unless your legs are unnaturally flexible.

Once you've figure it out, you've got a very natural looking variation. That is, the dancers with whom I was working assumed that I had worn it in the manner for which it was designed. And I suspect there are plenty more variations, if you're a creative type and want to make one outfit into several.

A much appreciated element of this particular bodystocking was that it WASN'T crotch-less. There was something.... kind of like all the other holes in the fishnet, but doubled in size in the general crotch area. And that is worth noting if you want a crotch-less stocking. But it wasn't one of those big gaping holes that extends from the middle of the inside of one thigh to the other, like many bodystockings. Even with boyshorts on, some of those can look really tacky because of the massive gap. This was much more subtle and entirely miss-able with shorts on underneath. However, if you're looking to make use of it, there still is enough space to be helpful to you and your partner.

So far the construction has held up. The fishnet has mercifully yet to snag- many comparable products are ripped to trashy uselessness in a matter of hours. I was pleased by the sizing, the comfort and the look. And I think you will be too.

While it remains confusing to put on every time, it looks awesome no matter how it ends up. Such is the nature of fishnet.
